    Hey, Americans below retirement age, you know how a chunk of your paycheck goes to Social Security? Vote Democrat if you want to ever see that money again. The Republicans don’t care about you in the slightest, and will gladly allow Social Security to collapse, and then you’ll get nothing and spend your twilight years starving on the street.
